Amazing food, fabulous wine list and a very lovely atmosphere. Gutted to hear it's closing for a while as it was the perfect pre-thearte stop off!

Balans restaurant in Soho offers a lively atmosphere perfect for a boozy evening or a pre-theatre meal. While the food may be a bit overpriced for the quality, the live music and authentic atmosphere make for an enjoyable experience. However, service can be slow and inconsistent, with some customers experiencing issues such as incorrect orders and long wait times. Despite some shortcomings, the friendly waitstaff and cozy ambiance make Balans a recommendable option for those looking for good French food in the area.

We had a nice table outside which was great for people watching. Good value cheeseburger and fries, but drinks expensive. Too noisy and chaotic inside
